The Department of Fine and Performing Arts has a long history of providing students opportunities to explore their talents in music, visual arts and theatre. The arts are an integral component of educating the whole child. The arts are alive in Hamden Public Schools!

Welcome to our Summer Reading Suggestion Page!

Here, you will find a wide variety of genres and levels that might interest you.

The purpose of summer reading is to encourage the enjoyment of reading and to develop our students’ abilities to choose books for themselves.

Use the tools to sort by grade level or genre. There is something for everyone!
